GACC Midwest is organizing a three-year program entitled "Transatlantic Dialogue: The Future of Infrastructure."
We are continuing our webinar series. On August 8, 2023, we successfully held our first kick-off webinar with a focus on the EV & Charging Infrastructure landscape in Germany. This time around, we will take a closer look at the EV & Charging Infrastructure landscape in the US by hosting another kick-off webinar on "EV and Charging Infrastructure." This webinar will be held on August 29, 2023, from 9:30am to 11:00am (CT) and marks the start of this transatlantic initiative that will bring key stakeholders from the German e-mobility sector to the US from Dec. 4-8, 2023 to connect with experts from the industry, research institutions, and government. The program brings together key stakeholders from both sides of the Atlantic to share knowledge and best practices and to propose innovative, sustainable, and future-proof solutions to these challenges.
Why attend the webinar?
